FAIRFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Foundation
Source, the nation’s largest provider of support services for
private foundations, today announced that it has hired Dori Kreiger in
the newly created position of Director of Community Programs and
Partnerships. Ms. Kreiger is well-recognized and highly regarded in the
world of professional philanthropy, having served at both the
Association of Small Foundations and the Council on Foundations, two of
the preeminent membership and service organizations serving U.S. private
foundations.

In her new role at Foundation Source Ms. Kreiger will design, develop,
and implement community programs that convene the Foundation Source
community – a robust network of clients, advisors, and staff – and
connect them with a broader sphere of external industry professionals,
philanthropic experts, and nonprofit organizations. She will work out of
the company’s Washington, D.C. office.

“Dori Kreiger is a tremendous addition to Foundation Source, and a win
for the many family, corporate, and professionally staffed foundations
that we serve throughout the U.S.,” said Andrew Schulz, National
Director of Community and Legal Relations. “She blends an unparalleled
understanding of private foundations and the nuanced issues facing
donors, with an extensive network of relationships, cultivated
throughout her career. The attributes that Dori possesses allow
Foundation Source to more effectively open lines of communication and
knowledge sharing between our internal constituents and the broader
philanthropic community.”

Ms. Kreiger most recently served as Director of Partnership Development
at the Association of Small Foundations (ASF) in Washington, D.C., where
she managed the organization’s development program and was responsible
for securing a sizable portion of ASF’s operating budget in the form of
foundation grants and corporate partnerships. Prior to ASF, Ms. Kreiger
held leadership positions at the Council on Foundations (COF), as
Managing Director in the Family Philanthropy Services Department, and
before that, as a Director in the Community Foundation Services
Department. At COF, she created programs and services addressing key
issues relevant to philanthropic families, namely governance best
practices, grantmaking strategy, and next generation engagement, and was
instrumental in the design and management of the annual Family
Philanthropy Conference. Ms. Kreiger also led the creation of COF’s Next
Generation Task Force to foster multigenerational dialogue and
collaboration within family foundations.

Commenting on her new appointment, Ms. Kreiger said: “When we talk about
private foundations today, we should no longer emphasize the word
‘private.’ Increasingly, foundation board members and staff are
benefitting from the experiential insights of their peers, and the
extensive body of knowledge that exists about philanthropic best
practices. Foundation Source understands that philanthropy is not an
insular pursuit. It is committed to serving its clients not only as a
purveyor of direct service, but as a convener of interested parties and
a hub of information.”

Earlier in her career, Ms. Kreiger worked at The Community Foundation
Serving Richmond & Central Virginia as a Donor Services Officer, and
separately, as a Finance Officer. She has spoken extensively on such
topics as foundation board management, next-generation philanthropy, and
the ways private foundations partner with community foundations. Ms.
Kreiger is a graduate of James Madison University.
